About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into Appalachian Realty's office, he stopped mid-step. The scent of freshly baked apple pie wafted through the open door—an unexpected aroma for a realtor’s office. Curious, he followed the smell deeper inside and found an old lady sitting behind the desk, knitting a cozy sweater. ‘I bake pies every Tuesday,’ she said with a smile. ‘Welcome to my little tradition.’

2. A salesman was showing a new listing when suddenly an old man walked in and asked if he could see the property too. The agent nodded politely but noticed something peculiar—every time they mentioned a price higher than $195,000, the old man would shake his head with disapproval. Finally, after several rounds of negotiation, the agent offered just $194,999. The old man beamed, signed the papers, and left. Months later, during a routine check-up, it turned out that the house had been haunted—and the old man was its previous owner!

3. A little girl followed her mother into Appalachian Realty’s showroom, where she pointed excitedly at a model home and asked, ‘Mommy, why does that house keep changing rooms?’ The mother smiled and replied gently, ‘Honey, it’s just an illusion created by the lighting.’ A delivery driver overheard them and laughed, saying, ‘Actually, ma’am, it’s because the furniture is on casters!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the little girl who finally understood the mystery of the moving rooms.

4. While browsing through listings one afternoon, a curious neighbor noticed something peculiar on the wall of Appalachian Realty's hallway. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old calendar featuring famous mountain landscapes. The date was December 31st, and every day had been crossed off meticulously with red pen—except for one: February 29th, written in bold ink. When asked about it, the owner grinned and said, ‘That’s our leap year listing, honey! We only get that once every four years.’
